IRISH AFFAIRS.

Buffers Testimony Was Not Garbled-Glad-
stone Asked to State His Position.
LONDON. March 14-Mr Balfour, Chief Sec
rotary for Ireland, stated in the House of Com
mons, this afternoon. in answer to inquiries,
that the testimony given before the Cowper
Irish land commission was published accurately
as given. He denied that any of this testimony
had either been condensed or altered, as has
been alleged respecting that given by General
Butler.
The Times, in concluding an article in today's
issue on "Parnellism and Crime" says: 1.-THE
closest confederacy has been established be-
tween the Parnellite chiefs and the Poenix Park
murderers. Is it decent. in view of all this, that
the Gladstone Liberals should cooperate with
such menP
Mr.. Gladstone. replying to the request of a
number of his adherents for information as to
the concessions offered to the Unionists. declines
to enter into details, but says the Liberals nay
rely upon his firm adherence to the principiek ad
the basis of his home-rule policy. The Rade!l
Unlonists attribute the failure of the conference
| negotiations to Gladstone's decision to abide by
Parnells demands. These facts. which, many
| believe, tend to show that Sir William Vernon
Harcourt has msled Chamberlain and Sir
George O. Trevelyan. causing them to believe
Gladstone had accepted Cham herlain's pro-
posals. Il is thought probable Gladstone
was the verge of asserting when he was
warned that such a step would result in Par
nellite revolt Since the breaking off of nego-
| tiations the demands of the Unionists have
| grown. AS formulated they comprise the fol-
| lowing essentials: That Ireland be represented
| in the imperial Parliament; that Ulster be sep
| arated from the jurisdiction of the Dublin Par
! Lament; that the Irish Parliament be subordi-
nate to, and not CO ordinate with, the imperial
| body; that the subordinate powers of the
| Irish Parliament oe strictly defined
and limited; that maintenance of law and
| order remain under control of imperial author
| ity; that Gladstone's financial proposals be
abandoned; that his proposition for an Irish Par
| lament, to be composed OF two orders, be aban-
| doned; that British credit be not pledged for
| benefit of Irish landlords. The Parnellites and
| Gladstonians scout these demands unworthy
| of consideration. Gladstone has been asked ex
plicitly to define his position and state upon
| what terms reunion is possible.
